Q: If workers are trained but job rotation is so frequent that speed does not stabilise what is the practical issue?

Lack of practice stability and job fit Training is supported by stable practice and suitable job. Exam tip: see training and job stability together.

Q: If high standard output is given but method training is not done what is the most serious gap?

Target capability mismatch A target is proper when workers know the correct method. Exam tip: check training with standard output.

Q: If accepted output is 144 and high rate is ₹13 what will be the wage?

₹1872 The accepted output is 144 units and the high rate is ₹13 per unit. Therefore, wage = \(144 \times 13 = ₹1872\). An amount such as ₹1848 would result only if a rate lower than ₹13 per unit were used. Exam tip: multiply the accepted units by the applicable per-unit rate.

Q: If 72 units are produced in 1080 minutes what is per unit standard time?

15 minutes Standard time per unit means the average amount of time allowed or required to make one unit. When the total production time and the total number of units are known, the time for one unit is found by dividing total time by total output. Here the total time is 1080 minutes and the output is 72 units. Therefore the required calculation is \(1080\div72\). Since \(72\times15=1080\), we get \(1080\div72=15\) minutes per unit. Thus option B is correct. The other numerical choices would imply a different total time for 72 units: 12 minutes would give 864 minutes, 18 would give 1296 minutes, and 20 would give 1440 minutes. Only 15 matches the information given.

Q: If route is correct but an old route board makes workers walk extra distance what is the root issue?

Route communication update issue Failure to update route information is a planning communication problem. Exam tip: identify route clerk’s information role.

Q: If actual cost is high because material is handled multiple times which study will give root correction?

Method study Repeated material handling is a whole process issue. Exam tip: connect material flow with method study.

Q: If a new output standard is announced but workers are not told the time study process what risk exists?

Standard acceptance may fall Without transparency even scientific standards may face resistance. Exam tip: see standard setting and communication together.

Q: If product varieties are few and input is standard but workstation layout is a bottleneck which study is needed?

Method study A layout bottleneck is a process design issue. Exam tip: consider method study even after simplification and standardisation.

Q: If output is 210 and 17 units are rejected what will be accepted output?

193 units Accepted output is calculated by subtracting rejected units from total output: \(210 - 17 = 193\). Therefore, 193 units are accepted. 210 is the total output, while 190 may result from an incorrect subtraction. Exam tip: write ‘total output − rejected units’ before calculating.

Q: If machine route and material are correct but final product is defective whose checking role comes first?

Inspector The direct answer is option A, inspector. In functional foremanship, different specialists have different responsibilities. The inspector checks whether the finished product meets the required quality and specifications. Here the machine route and material are already correct, but the final product is defective, so the first checking responsibility belongs to the inspector. Option A is correct. Option B, gang boss, supervises workers and ensures that workers and machines are properly used; this is a production-supervision role, not the primary final-quality checking role. Option C, route clerk, decides or records the route and sequence through which work or material should move; the route is stated to be correct. Option D, time and cost clerk, deals with time records, cost information and related planning, not direct final-product inspection. The key distinction is between checking quality and correcting the process. If the question asks who checks the finished article, choose inspector.

In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic explains how Frederick Winslow Taylor applied scientific methods to improve efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Students learn about functional foremanship, standardisation and simplification of work, method study, motion study, time study, fatigue study, and the differential piece wage system. The chapter connects these techniques with work planning, employee performance, time management, cost control, and the systematic application of management principles.
